I would expect an open source version of CF to implement a strong subset of the CF that most developers use on a daily basis and to implement it with excellent performance. I suspect that open sourcing the core of CF would make it so that you had a stable, lower footprint server that would run most of the lower-end sites out there. More importantly, I would expect it to support whatever it is that the bulk of the developers were clamoring for. I suspect that if it had existed 2 years ago, we'd see built in support for image processing for instance.
There are a bunch of really cool, high end features available in CF. I don't think that all of them would have to be implemented for an open source version of CF to be successful. I'll be following this project with great interest and perhaps helping out where I can. I think it could do the CF community a lot of good.
